Gruesome
Ever so slight is the cry
From the one about to die
Far away from this pace
I cannot see it's mournful face
Venturing forth into the unknown
Another soul for death who won
Louder and harder I hear the sobs
As the creature begins to rob
It appears lifeless and forlorn
The gut wrenched out and torn
Falling into the eternal abyss
Fast and furious I feel the kiss
Leaving the gruesomeness behind
Soon to heal with time
